Ceramic and Refractory Fibres
category
Ceramic and refractory fibres are manufactured inorganic fibres based on alumina, mullite, silicon carbide, alumina-silica, and zirconia compositions produced by sol-gel spinning, melt blowing, or chemical vapour deposition into continuous or discontinuous filaments capable of sustained service temperatures from 1000 to 1800 degrees Celsius in oxidising and reducing atmospheres.
Role
Provides the ultra-high-temperature inorganic fibre materials essential for aerospace thermal protection systems, industrial furnace linings, gas turbine hot section seals, and ceramic matrix composite reinforcement in applications where all other fibre materials including glass and basalt have exceeded their thermal stability limits.
